That’s 1,223,600 cases of Riesling. And this does not include 70,000 cases just released under the nationally distributed Anew Riesling or anything from Snoqualmie Vineyards or Columbia Crest, which last year combined for another 100,000-plus cases of wine.

While it’s a huge amount of wine – and the most Riesling that Chateau Ste. Michelle has ever made – it wasn’t actually a giant increase from 2011, when the team of Bertheau and white winemaker Wendy Stuckey produced 1.16 million cases.

I think it will come as a surprise to a lot of folks..I wd have thought that Columbia Crest's production wd have been higher..I tend to think of them as a high volume house more than I do CSM..CC tends to produce an ocean of chard

Alcohol in general is prohibitively expensive in Singapore, not just in restaurants. That said I can get a great dinner for $10.

David, do you know Yixin Ong yixin.ong@kotselections.com who used to post a lot here and now runs a wine import business in Singapore? If you are still there, he might be good for a glass or three of wine.
